The syntax error happened because we had not implemented a different print for
percentile functions. The syntax is a bit different when we use percentile functions
as window functions in comparision to normal window functions.
Implemented a seperate print function for percentile functions
The problem described in the bug report happened because the code
did not test check_cols(1) after fix_fields() in a few places.
Additionally, fix_fields() could be called multiple times for SP variables,
because they are all fixed at a early stage in append_for_log().
Solution:
1. Adding a few helper methods
- fix_fields_if_needed()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_bool()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_order_by()
and using it in many cases instead of fix_fields() where
the "fixed" status is not definitely known to be "false".
2. Adding DBUG_ASSERT(!fixed) into Item_splocal*::fix_fields()
to catch double execution.
3. Adding tests.
As a good side effect, the patch removes a lot of duplicate code (~60 lines):
if (!item->fixed &&
item->fix_fields(..) &&
item->check_cols(1))
return true;
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
This is another attempt to fix the bug mdev-12992.
This patch introduces st_select_lex::context_analysis_place for
the place in SELECT where context analysis is currently performed.
It's similar to st_select_lex::parsing_place, but it is used at
the preparation stage.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
Due to this bug many queries that contained a window function
with MIN/MAX aggregation returned wrong results.
Calculation of a MIN/MAX aggregate function uses cache objects
and a comparator object that are created and set up in
Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields () by a call of Item_sum_hybrid::setup_hybrid().
The latter binds the objects to the first argument of the
MIN/MAX function. Meanwhile window function perform aggregation
over fields of a temporary table. So binding must be done rather to
these fields. The earliest moment when setup the objects used in
MIN/max functions can be done is after all calls of the method
split_sum_func().
This patch introduces this late setup, but only for aggregate
functions used in window functions.
Probably it makes sense to use this late setup for all MIN/MAX
objects.
This patch:
- Adds a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_get_cache
- Splits moves Item_cache::get_cache() into the new method, every
"case XXX_RESULT" to the corresponding Type_handler_xxx::Item_get_cache.
- Adds Item::get_cache as a convenience wrapper, to make the caller code
shorter.
- Changes the last argument of Arg_comparator::cache_converted_constant()
from Item_result to "const Type_handler *".
- Removes subselect_engine::cmp_type, subselect_engine::res_type,
subselect_engine::res_field_type and derives subselect_engine
from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type instead.
- Makes Type_handler_varchar public, as it's now needed as the
default data type handler for subselect_engine.
There was no implementation of the virtual method print()
for the Item_window_func class. As a result for a view
containing window function an invalid view definition could
be written in the frm file. When a query that refers to
this view was executed a syntax error was reported.
Refactour out (into a copy for now) the logic of Item_sum_hybrid, to
allow for multiple arguments. It does not contain the comparator
members. The result is the class Item_sum_hybrid_simple.
LEAD and LAG make use of this Item to store previous rows in a chache.
It also helps in specifying the field type. Currently LEAD/LAG do not
support default values.
NTH_VALUE behaves identical to LEAD and LAG, except that the starting
position cursor is placed on the top of the frame instead of the current
row.
